Cross-language Familiar Talker Advantage
Previous research has shown that familiar talkers are more intelligible than unfamiliar talkers. In the current study, we tested the source of this familiar talker advantage by manipulating the type of talker information available in the signal. Two groups of listeners were trained to identify the voices of five German-English bilingual talkers; one group learned the voices from German stimuli ...
متن کاملThe advantage of knowing the talker.
BACKGROUND Many audiologists have observed a situation where a patient appears to understand something spoken by his or her spouse or a close friend but not the same information spoken by a stranger. However, it is not clear whether this observation reflects choice of communication strategy or a true benefit derived from the talker's voice. PURPOSE The current study measured the benefits of l...
متن کاملOn Talker Voice and Language Identification
Listener similarity judgments of languages seem to be influenced by regional speech characteristics and talker voice quality, and listener responses to voice quality are influenced by language. This study attempted to assess the relationships between judgments about voice quality and judgments about language. In the first experiment, using an ABX format listeners matched spoken samples of unkno...
متن کاملTraining to use voice onset time as a cue to talker identification induces a left-ear/right-hemisphere processing advantage.
We examined the effect of perceptual training on a well-established hemispheric asymmetry in speech processing. Eighteen listeners were trained to use a within-category difference in voice onset time (VOT) to cue talker identity. Successful learners (n=8) showed faster response times for stimuli presented only to the left ear than for those presented only to the right. The development of a left...
متن کاملRepresentation of voice quality features associated with talker individuality
As a first step toward development of a “speech montage system”, this paper attempts to derive a core set of Japanese epithets which are commonly used in an everyday life to represent voice quality features associated with talker individuality. Perceptual experiments were conducted, where subjects were asked to evaluate sentence utterances recorded from a variety of male speakers in terms of 25...
